Video Subscription Service Gains (some) Steam
Monday, November 2, 2009 at 12:00PM 
The Wall Street Journal's All Things Digital blog is reporting Apple has been shopping the concept of $30 per month video subscriptions to tv networks. The blog merely mentions "sources," so let's hope they're not talking about our similar Apple TV proposal from TDL Live a few weeks back.
If there was a way to still get live events, then turning Apple TV into "the people's cable box," makes a lot of sense. And all-you-can-watch proposal would be a huge win to customers, if it was implemented in a way that meant you could ditch cable/satellite. Of course, for many of us, our TV provider is also our internet provider, so it could prove a tough sell, or might require some legislation loosening the power wielded by cable companies in the internet space.
We'll talk more about it tonight on TDL Live, 9PM ET / 6PM PT.

let's face it. It the only logical way for ATV to go. Apple most likely trying to figure a long term way to make the most money from Apple TV. Stream is the future for all media. Don't be surprise if at sometime you will see an app store for the device in the near future
